“New Tricks” is about three retired detectives who are called back to work to help solve cold cases. The three detectives are quite a bit past retirement age. They bring a lot of experience to the cases and their methods can sometimes be a little outside the box. I like the show especially because it has a good dose of humor with some great lines. The writers do a good job of blending comedy with mystery. The detectives and the woman who is their boss are fun to watch. They all play well together.
“New Tricks” had a long run on the BBC, 2003-2015, so I guess a lot of people liked it.
We watch it fairly often. Each episode is a little shy of an hour and the storylines stand alone so it is easier to watch one or two at a time and not get caught up in a binge.

We have enjoyed New Tricks after learning about it on this thread. We are also enjoying DCI Banks another British detective show.
